For a first time handgun hunter, a little practice paid off. NRA Publications Editorial Director John Zent invited Senior Digital Producer Tom Rickwalder to the range to test fire the Taurus Raging Bull in 44 Mag. After a little work, they both decided Rickwalder was ready to go on his first handgun hunt. Turkeys and whitetail would serve as his targets in Virginia. Get an inside look at the hunt with this gallery.
